Hicks was one of seven occupants of the two vehicles involved taken to the hospital for treatment Thursday when his car, traveling the wrong way on Interstate 95, collided with an SUV carrying five passengers.

Officers with the police department’s Major Accident Investigation Team said Hicks was operating a 2007 Buick Lucerne traveling south in the emergency lane of northbound I-95 when he attempted to turn left across traffic onto the exit ramp at Ga. 204, colliding with a northbound Honda Pilot.

Virgil Hicks was listed in critical condition at the time. Galen Miller was listed in serious condition. Sarah Miller and Mary Hicks were listed in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries. The others were treated for injuries and released, Miller said.

The Major Accident Investigation Team is continuing its investigation into the accident.
